Where Do I Go After Landing? Finding the Car Rental Desks

Navigating a new airport can feel overwhelming, but finding the car rental area at Muscat International is incredibly straightforward. The airport is modern, spacious, and very well-signposted.

Follow Arrivals Signs
After deplaning, follow the signs for "Arrivals" and "Baggage Claim."

Once you have collected all your luggage from the carousel, proceed through the customs checkpoint.
Enter the Arrivals Hall
As you exit customs, you will walk directly into the main public Arrivals Hall on the ground floor of the terminal building.
Look for "Car Rental" Signs
Stop for a moment and look ahead. You will immediately see large, clear overhead signs pointing you toward "Car Rental."
Find the Rental Counters
The car rental area is a dedicated zone right there in the Arrivals Hall, before you exit the terminal building. You'll see a long row of brightly lit counters, each with the logo of a different rental company. You can't miss it.

All Desks in One Location

The desks are arranged in a row in the Arrivals Hall, so a quick scan of the logos is all it takes to locate the agency you've booked with. If you are delayed or need to contact the local branch directly, it's always a good idea to have their phone number ready before you travel.

From Keys to a Full Tank: The Car Collection Process

Once you've completed the paperwork, signed the rental agreement, and have the keys in your hand, you're just one short step away from your car. The vehicles are not located far away, and you do not need to take a shuttle bus.

Exit the Terminal
From the car rental desks, walk toward the main exit of the Arrivals Hall.
Cross to the Parking Garage
You will see the multi-level parking garage directly opposite the terminal building. Carefully cross the passenger pick-up/drop-off lanes.
Find Your Car
The rental cars are parked in a dedicated area within this main parking garage, typically on a specific level like P1. Your rental agent will tell you exactly which level and zone to go to. The area is well-lit and clearly marked for rental returns and collections.
Perform Final Checks
Before you drive away, take a few minutes to perform these crucial checks.

Final Checks Before You Drive Off

Inspect for Damage

Walk around the car and look for any existing scratches, dents, or scuffs. Make sure any damage is noted on your rental agreement. Take a quick video or a few photos of the car's condition with your phone for your own records.

Important

Check the Fuel Level

Most rental policies are "full-to-full." Glance at the fuel gauge to ensure you are starting with a full tank of gas.

Fuel Policy

Get Comfortable

Adjust your seat, mirrors, and steering wheel. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the basic controls like the headlights, wipers, and air conditioning before you start your journey.
